Industrial wireless multimeter for easy deployment, troubleshooting, and maintenance

A method comprising:

• communicating between a tablet computing device and a radio module of an apparatus using a BLUETOOTH Low Energy (BLE) communication link;
• selectably operating, by the apparatus, in multiple modes comprising a gateway mode, a router mode, a sniffer mode, and a discovery mode;
• and
• displaying information on a display of the tablet computing device,
• wherein the tablet computing device is configured to establish WiFi and BLE communication links with other devices, and
• wherein the radio module is physically fastened to the tablet computing device and is configured to establish ISA100 and WirelessHART communication links with field devices of a process control and automation system.

A non-transitory computer readable medium containing instructions that, when executed by at least one processing device, cause the at least one processing device to:

• control a tablet computing device and a radio module of an apparatus to communicate using a BLUETOOTH Low Energy (BLE) communication link;
• selectably operate the apparatus in multiple modes comprising a gateway mode, a router mode, a sniffer mode, and a discovery mode;
• and
• display information on a display of the tablet computing device,
• wherein the tablet computing device is configured to establish WiFi and BLE communication links with other devices, and
• wherein the radio module is physically fastened to the tablet computing device and is configured to establish ISA100 and WirelessHART communication links with field devices of a process control and automation system.
